Good Morning All,

As some of you might know, NI6IW is a bit delinquent in returning QSL cards sent in by SASE. I wanted to give a short SITREP on this...

Since taking over as "scribe" for the shack, I've put in around 20 hours in transcribing notes and contacts from scratch paper to formal logs. Starting out from June 07, I'm half-way through Nov 07. I'm hoping that I'll be complete and up-to-date with this portion of the project by the end of this month. Once this stage is done, I'll be able to return QSL cards sent in by SASE.

The next step in this project will be to enter everything into LOTW and EQSL. While I know that not everyone uses one or both of these services, some of us do, and I want to make sure that all bases are covered.

A bit more cumbersome that what I thought it would be, some of the obstacles I'm facing are (1) reading handwriting from different folks (some are easy, some are not!); (2) Looking up calls here on QRZ's look-up function for their QTH information (City, County, State, Grid); and (3) Time. Working full-time, going to school almost full-time, and still with two young sons in the home, time is sometimes at a premium! Fortunately, I'm able to use some of the long and dry duty days at work to make good progress.

Thanks for the patience for those of you who are still waiting for your card from NI6IW - I appreciate it! For those of you who want to "work" us, our special event calendar is posted here on the ZED, on the League's website, and on eham.net.

73 and Best DX to All,

Ken
